Assignee:

Church Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

C01D 700

US Classification:

423421

Abstract:

This invention provides a process for the production of dry free-flowing potassium carbonate sesquihydrate. The process involves the controlled hydration of high purity anhydrous potassium carbonate. The product of the process has at least about 90 percent particle size distribution in the range between about 200-1500 microns. The invention potassium carbonate sesquihydrate has properties which adapt the product for utility as a macromineral nutrient in animal feedstocks.

International Classification:

A23K 1/175
A23K 1/18

US Classification:

426 2, 426302, 426656, 426807

Abstract:

This invention provides a rumen-bypass dietary supplement in compacted particulate form. The supplement has the capability to transport fatty acid calcium salt and between about 65-96 percent of rumen-protected undegraded aminoacid content to the post-ruminal digestive system of a ruminant. A feedstock containing the supplement for ruminants benefically improves feed efficiency and body growth. The feedstock also is adapted to improve the lactational performance of dairy cattle.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 72

Abstract:

In one embodiment this invention provides a liquid nutrient formulation which is an aqueous suspension with a high content of nutrient ingredients, and optional ingredients such as medicaments. A primary ingredient of an invention formulation is one or more C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid alkali metal or ammonium salts suitable as a high energy supplement for ruminant feedstock.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 74

Abstract:

A process for preparing a fatty acid calcium salt ruminant feed supplement product which contains an incorporated methionine hydroxy analog calcium salt additive. The dietary product can function as a rumen bypass feed supplement, and permit a beneficial increase in the nutrient fat content of the feed.

Assignee:

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. - Princeton NJ

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

426 74

Abstract:

In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a feed supplement product which contains C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt and a propionate glucogenous ingredient as essential constituents. The feed product can function as a rumen bypass composition, and permit the beneficial increase of the nutrient fat content of the ruminant feed ration, and facilitate metabolic glucose formation by gluconeogenesis during the digestive cycle.

International Classification:

A23P 100

US Classification:

426488

Abstract:

In one embodiment this invention provides a process for preparing a deodorized fatty acid salt feed supplement. Primary amine reagent is added to a process medium in which C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid with a content of malodorous carbonyl compound is converted into a deodorized C. sub. 14 -C. sub. 22 fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product.

International Classification:

A23K 100

US Classification:

554156

Abstract:

This invention provides an improved process for the production of a fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product which have little or no content or glyceride ingredient. An essential feature of the process is the pre-blending of glyceride-containing fatty acid feedstock and basic alkaline earth metal compound, before mixing with water and heating the mixture to initiate salt-forming and glyceride-hydrolyzing reactions. The fatty acid alkaline earth metal salt product can be recovered in the form of tackless free-flowing dust-free granules.
